SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Huntington, NY.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government agency in charge of efforts to advance the behavioral health of the U.S.. One of its obligations is the administering of opioid treatment programs, which are programs that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are in the midst of opioid dependency and addiction. Medications given are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that help curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in Huntington are programs which are legally permitted to dispense the medications used in MAT as long as they remain certified and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT clients must also receive auxiliary services in addition to medication like psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehab center can receive basic certification while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs accredited by SAMSHA must be licensed by the state in which they operate. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration through a local DEA branch. Once an opioid treatment program is approved to operate, it must be re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of certification it has been given.
